The 2025-26 NFL HC Cycle is all KC's Fault!
This year is crazy for NFL head coach openings. The average open positions in the league, year to year, is six or seven. (DON’T DO IT.) This year, there have been a whopping TEN!

So what’s the deal? Why did so many teams let go of their coaches this year

Does the NFL Have a "Bad Teams" Problem?
